Mak- do you think a cheap coder will clear it?? Don't mind buying one as sure it will come in use in future.

Can't really say for 100% as some codes can be deleted and some cannot.
PM me your address and I can post you bluetooth code reader and resetter.
You will require HTC, or Samsung Android phone and download Torque application on it.
For rest of the procedure, it is simple. Connect obd reader to your car, and connect it with your phone bluetooth.
Open torque application, read the code and reset it.

If that does not bring any luck, then one of us has to travel to you to help you.
